I purchased this bed for my 6 year old daughter.  Her room is very small (9X12) and we needed something more compact.  The bed looks great and is functioning well.  I would give this 5 stars; however, I am taking 1 star away because of the labor of putting this bed together.  I do not typically read and study instructions... I usually just fly by the seat of my pants, BUT with this piece of furniture (because my daughter would be sleeping a few feet off the ground) I DID take the time to read AND study the instructions.  I even organized and created an assembly line of sorts... However...  The instructions were not 100% clear... only about 90%...
